Christian Atsu missed out on Africa Cup of Nations glory with Ghana – but had the consolation of picking up a pair of personal awards.

The on-loan Everton winger was named Player of the Tournament after a string of impressive showings in Equatorial Guinea, and also collected the Goal of the Tournament award for his quarter-final strike against Guinea.

In the final itself, Ghana were beaten 9-8 by Ivory Coast after a dramatic penalty shootout. Atsu, having started the game, was replaced four minutes from the end of extra time, with the score deadlocked at 0-0.

Ivory Coast ‘keeper Boubacar Barry was the unlikely hero, saving from Ghanaian stopper Brimah Razak before converting his own spot kick to seal the Elephants’ first African title since 1992.
